April 5, random snippets of thought

I am thinking about The Fool, as represented in (newly interpreted) Tarot. Playful, experiential, impulsive, and irrational. Maybe it's time I tune into my "inner fool" a bit more, as life seems to be getting a little too heavy lately. Also, the Dragonfly. I have been contemplating my relationship/kinship with the dragonfly for some years. It is a potent image for me, especially since researching ADD, pediatric OT, my own scattershot thought/behavior patterns. I put a lot of stock in mindfulness, as I believe it can be a useful therapeutic approach to my work as an OT, and in my less public life as well. Does mindfulness conflict or preclude fool/dragonfly spirit?
